Applications cannot get root access on GNext 4.2
Hello,
After the update to 4.2 on my GNext the GUI applications (superuser itself for example) cannot get root access. Running su in CLI is working but doesn't trigger any confirmations
The logs are showing me:
W/ActivityManager( 385): Permission Denial: broadcast asks to run as user -1 but is calling from user 0; this requires android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS_FULL or android.permission.INTERACT_ACROSS_USERS I/AndroidRuntime(18314): VM exiting with result code 1. W/su (18245): request rejected (10058->0 /system/bin/sh)
The only reference I've found is this bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39801
The same problem here
To be 100% exact, the bug more likely resides in https://github.com/ChainsDD/su-binary
Same here on a stock 4.2.2 on Nexus 4.
Sorry, it does WORK when flashed by OpenRecovery. I've been flashing it with CWM
have you tried https://github.com/koush/Superuser This is the prefered Superuser APPLICATION in my book as it has no advertisements and actually built for and by the CLOCKWORKSMOD TEAM
